[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh, do we really want our kids to absorb the message that the purpose of life is to work as hard as possible and get into the best college possible? That is joyless and not the life I want my kids to have. They can have a good life without conducting original scientific research at 16 or being the "best" or "top."[/quote] Younger Gen X here. Judging by the millennials I know personally and the deluge of articles I’ve read about the student loan “crisis,” that’s definitely been the message their generation seemed to absorb. Whether their parents/teachers meant them to or not. And now a lot of them are disappointed by how their careers have turned out (not as well paying or fulfilling as they thought they’d be).[/quote]
